PERIODICAL PUBLICATION.

Application filed April 20, 1922. Serial No. 555,698.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, WVILLIAM J. KOLL-' MORGEN and RAYBORN L. ZERBY, citizens of the United States of America, residing at South Bend, in the county of St.-'Jo'seph and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Periodical Publications, of which the following .is a specification, reference being bad therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to a method of publishing and it has for its object to provide a method whereby small periodicals, such as parish papers, trade papers, house organs and the like may be distributed with current news, data and information at a minimum cost.

Most periodicals of the character indicated carry two distinct sorts of reading matter, viz., permanent matte-r, i. e., that matter which appears upon a number of successive issues and non-permanent or current matter which appears only in a singleissue.

It is, of course, well understood that the rincipal expense in connection with printng is the setting of the type and if a large number of copies may be printed from a single setting of type the cost per copy will be correspondingly reduced. I Under the present method, we employ a cover section adapted to receive the permanent matter, i. e., all matter of a nature adapting it to appear upon a number of successive issues of the periodical and print these in large quantities and utilize this cover section to house a second section which receives the current matter. This current matter may be printed, but, where the issue is small, as in the case of a parish paper,it may be typewritten or reproduced by a typewriting dupli ating machine.

The cover section may be used wholly or partly for advertising and when used. for advertising the revenue derived therefrom will in many instances support the entire cost of the publication. Thus by our method it is possible to give publicity to the main matter in hand as represented by the current material without cost and in some instances with profit to the user.

In the accompanying drawing:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view partly broken away of a folder illustrating the method; and

Fig. 2 is a plan view of a slightly modi- .fied form of folder.

Like numerals designate corresponding parts in both of the figures.

Broadly speaking in carrying out our method we employ a permanent section A and a current section B. The permanent section comprises a four-page folder, the front of which receives the naine of the church or other institution publishing the same, as indicated at 5. The inside of the front leaf 6 of the permanent section, the inside of the rear leaf 7 and the outside of the rear leaf 7 are all adapted to receive permanent matter, such as advertising 8. A large number of these permanent cover sections may be printed at a single run and they serve to house the current section B which receivesmatter, indicated at 9, local,

to the activities of the church and current to the particular weekly issue in which it appears. The current section B may be merely slipped between the front and rear leaves of the cover section or it may be fastened thereinbv pasting, staplingor any other way common among the manufacturers of pamphlets. This current section B may comprise one leaf as in Fig. 1 or two leaves as in Fig. 2 or the number of these leaves may be increased, if desired.

It is notessential that all of the inner surfaces of the leaves 6 and 7 be occupied by permanent matter 8 for portions of these inner surfaces may be used to receive current matter, typewritten thereon, if desired.

Having described our invention what we claim is:

A periodical comprising a' removable cover section common to a plurality of issues of the periodical comprising a plurality of folded leaves bearing advertising matter upon their inner faces and an insertable current section carrying current matter specific to a single issue of such publication.

In testimony whereof we hereunto affix our signatures.
